Butterfly Knife | Stained (Field-Tested)
This is a custom-designed balisong, commonly known as a butterfly knife. The defining characteristic of this weapon is the fan-like opening of a freely pivoting blade, allowing rapid deployment or concealment. As a result, butterfly knives are outlawed in many countries. It has been given a forced patina using lemon and mustard dripped onto the surface.

Description
Butterfly Knife | Stained is a Counter-Strike weapon skin featuring the iconic Butterfly Knife silhouette with the “Stained” finish theme. The skin uses the legacy CS:GO model (CS:GO legacy), carrying forward into CS2 with the same distinctive pattern-forward look that players associate with classic knife skin releases.
As a Covert-rarity skin, Butterfly Knife | Stained sits in one of the higher-visibility tiers of CS2 items. Covert skins are typically rarer than common and restricted options, meaning acquisition is generally uncommon compared to most weapon finishes. While exact drop rates aren’t publicly guaranteed for every case opening scenario, Covert skins are known for being significantly less frequent than lower-rarity pulls.
This skin is available across all listed wears: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred (Float range: 0–1). StatTrak is available for Butterfly Knife | Stained, allowing the knife to track kills, while Souvenir is not available. The CS:GO legacy model ensures the skin remains faithful to the original design language players recognize from CS:GO-era collections.
Visually, the “Stained” finish emphasizes a bold, stained/patterned surface treatment that creates high-contrast variation across the blade and handle areas. With Paint index 43, the pattern placement contributes to the unique look seen between individual instances—one of the reasons knife skins remain a major focus for collectors and competitive players.
To obtain Butterfly Knife | Stained, players can find it in the Operation Breakout Weapon Case. As with other case-contained items, purchasing or earning the case is the primary path to accessing the skin, making it a sought-after pick when the community rotates interest toward specific case pools.
In the community, Butterfly Knife skins are consistently popular due to their role as both high-status cosmetic items and visually striking melee choices. Butterfly Knife | Stained, in particular, appeals to players who want a Covert-rarity knife with a distinctive stained pattern aesthetic—balancing rarity, recognizability, and long-term “wear” variation that keeps each instance feeling personal.
